How good is Bold Endings
Bold Endings has some stiff competition from Warden’s Law. Stat for stat, they are pretty much identical, with Bold Endings eeking out a little more base range, stability, and handling. What ultimately sets Bold Endings apart is it being Stasis and rolling with the coveted Headstone. Given the bevy of Stasis reworks, this will pair nicely with any shatter-focused build for both Stasis and Prismatic.
In PvP, Heavy Burst Hand Cannons are a niche category. While fun to shoot and a slightly quicker TTK than Aggressives, their burst nature gives more room for error. Frequent users of hand cannons and pulse rifles should have no issue getting utility out of Bold Endings, but don’t expect to pick it up and slay out if it’s your first time.

Bold Endings God Rolls, Destiny 2
Bold Endings PvE god rolls
| PvE Roll: All-Around | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel or Polygonal Rifling |
| Magazine | Tactical Mag |
| Perk 1 | Headstone (also good: Rapid-Hit) |
| Perk 2 | Demolitionist or Collective Action |
| Masterwork | Handling or Reload Speed |
Similar to Aggressive Frame Hand Cannons, Heavy Bursts suffer from low base stability and handling, so best to bump that up using Fluted Barrel. Polygonal Rifling is a decent 2nd pick for more stability at the cost of no extra handling. Tactical Mag increases mag size, reload speed, and stability, so it’s a no brainer for a weapon like this.
For Perk 1, not a lot exists for PvE, but what we do have is rather solid. Headstone is a staple of Stasis builds, and thankfully rolls here. Unfortunately, that means it clashes with Rapid-Hit, but either of these will suit you well based on the build. Perk 2 fares a little better, offering a bevy of damage boosting or AoE perks. Demolitionist can activate from Headstone’s crystals and Collective Action provides a 20% damage boost after collecting any elemental pick-up!
Bold Endings PvP god rolls
| PvP Roll: All-Around | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Smallbore |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds |
| Perk 1 | Rapid-Hit or To the Pain |
| Perk 2 | Eye of the Storm (also good: Desperate Measures) |
| Masterwork | Stability or Range |
In PvP, Bold Endings is going to need all of the range and stability it can get to compete with the other top-tier hand cannons. To that end, Smallbore is the best barrel, but arguments can be made for Hammer-Forged Rifling or Chambered Compensator. Accurized Rounds is your best magazine as Ricochet Rounds aren’t available here. Steady Rounds could be a solid second pick if you go with Hammer-Forged Rifling.
Perk 1 has Rapid-Hit or To the Pain, both of which are excellent stat boosting perks. Rapid-Hit will help keep your follow up shots on target, but To the Pain boosts aim assist and handling for taking damage, so up to you what feels right. Perk 2 has the aforementioned damage boosting perks, but also rolls with Eye of the Storm for a solid dueling experience, especially with To the Pain. Desperate Measures is probably the best damage boosting perk as it doesn’t require a Stasis ability kill to get max effectiveness.
How to get Bold Endings
Bold Endings drops from within the Pale Heart. Like other destination weapons, this one can drop from a variety of sources: public events, lost sectors, HVT chests, and more. Basically, if it can drop loot, there’s a chance Bold Endings will be your reward. Additionally, it can be crafted after five deepsight versions have been acquired.
Completing the Overthrow activity grants a chance at a deepsight, much like Terminal Overload on Neomuna, or Wellspring in the Throne World. Thankfully, this activity isn’t as punishing as the other two, so it should be a smooth ride to a crafted version. We cover all Pale Heart weapons here.
